The Witch Castle (Das Hexenschloss)

Level by Mikel

Walkthrough by Yoav

After short a flyby with Lara sliding, you find yourself in an empty room. In the front a painted wall with few colors, stand in a middle of the wall, jump and catch the edge of hidden opening, pull Lara into it, she slides down and lands onto a block in a room with two sleeping skeletons. Notice as soon as you get down from block the skeletons will wake up, but they will not come after you when you enter the rooms from both sides.

Now get down from the block and run toward the right side room, from both sides of the room there's a row of Poseidon statues but the fifth statue is missing a Trident, notice for sleeping zombie, follow the end of the room and look for Golden Star on the wall, turn back and get out of this room.

Quickly pass the area with the skeletons but if you have a second to look at the right side, you can see the Crowbar behind the windows. Enter the next room and shoot the bats, also shoot the two vases from both sides of the balcony with the burning pedestal, you discover two star receptacles, you already have one so you only need the second star you saw right now to open the iron gate.

Now go to the opening with the slope, climb the climbable wall into the room above, notice the zombie asleep in the corner and go take the Trident from pedestal. Proceed behind the candlestick from the left side and pick up Small Medipack, flyby will show you an open door. Jeep outside the room but you'll never get it. Back to the room, take care as the zombie wakes up so quickly slide down the room you came from, don't leave this room yet, go to the left side corner and look for high opening.

The wall is an climbable so climb up into the opening, go a few steps and stand in front of the Poseidon statues, turn with Lara's back to them and climb down the pit into the room with the window go, toward the right corner and pick up the Crowbar. Climb back and return to the room with the row of Poseidon statues where you've been before.

Place the missing Trident (it opens a black gate further on in the level), proceed and use the Crowbar to get the Golden Star. Short flyby above the row statue and Lara will be under of fly attack and wake up zombie. Quickly leave this room and once again back to the room with the balcony, put the Golden Star and follow through the open gate to top of the slope. Run jump to cross the gap with the lava below and proceed forward to sunken black tile with a Key.

As soon as you pick up the key two spiked boulders will come from both sides, immediately do backflip to avoid from them. Now go to left side behind the column and jump over the short slope, you see closed catacomb door, proceed to the right, go behind the next column, there's key hole, use the Key and back there again, enter into the alcove and pick up Grenade Gun. Now pass the open black gate you opened before into a small room with burning pedestal and hanging skeleton, shoot the mesh and crawl into crawlspace and get in the next room.

In the room three sleeping zombies and at the middle there's pedestal with four candlesticks and Blue Key. Take the key, it will burn the candlestick and wake up the zombies, draw your grenade gun and send them to hell. Take care, for Templar Knight is coming out from his dark room, light flare and proceed toward this room, use the key in the left corner, it will open the catacomb door.

Pass the open door and in front of you there's spikes blocking the way forward so go to the right, but be careful from next spikes trap, go toward the safe floor where you can see the Golden Vraeus protected by another spike trap. Now go to right side and get off the safe floor and pull the chain, this action will lower the spikes, now you can pick up the Golden Vraeus and say goodbye to this level.
